I was stating a fact about Peter Ward-Hunt and his wartime service.
I was standing at the memorial at RAF Wickenby, near Lincoln on Thursday which commemorated 1076 young men, most of them teenagers who flew from there in defence of this country in its direst hour of need and now lie in graves all over Europe.
Last year I was at the site of the prison camp for Ukrainian women just downstream from the Mohne Dam most of whom were drowned in the ensuing floods in 1943.
I felt a lot of emotion but jingoism or celebration were not amongst them.
